Cleaning Robot Mop and Vacuum Combo
Most robot vacuums and mops pair with an app that lets you save maps of your home, create cleaning schedules and select mopping settings. Some models with dual rotating pads will also return to the dock to clean their brushes and dump dirty water.
To prevent bacteria accumulation, remove the pads and wash them (if it's safe) after each cleaning cycle. It is also recommended to clean the tray that they rest on between cleanings.
Preparation
Many robot mops have pads that are soaked in cleaning solution and are swept across the floor, either brushing or scrubbing to get rid of sticky marks and other spots. To stop bacteria from building up and to prevent them from smelling, these pads should be cleaned and removed between usage (if they can be washed). Some models have brushes on the bottom and sides of the robot that also require to be washed, rinsed or replaced after a few cleaning cycles.
The most effective 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop combos are easy-to-use and come with features that reduce the amount of maintenance required after cleaning. These include automatic vacuum and mop dustbin emptying docks that self-clean and self-cleaning pads which ensure that your robot is ready to mop immediately after a cleaning cycle. If you want your robot's sensors to be able navigate and avoid obstacles, wipe them down with a soft towel or cloth every few cycles. This will get rid of dust that can hinder sensors and cause errors.
Choose a mop that is compatible with carpets if you have them. Robotic mops that are able to clean or vacuum floors need to be reprogrammed so they can avoid carpets. Certain robotic vacuum cleaners and mop cleaners have mapping functions. This allows you to observe the areas your robot has cleaned, and also those it hasn't.
The majority of apps-connected robots mop use sensors to navigate through the house and avoid obstacles, however, they can be lost or confused. It is important to update the mopping app frequently with the latest software releases to ensure your robot has the best navigation and obstacle-avoidance capabilities. We suggest testing a robot's performance in your home by creating an obstacle course to test its capabilities before buying it.
Most robot mops have two tanks: one for clean water and one for dirty water. The tank that is dirty is required to be filled and empty regularly. The water tanks can be easily removed from the base to make it easier to clean them and rinse with warm water and mild soap. The majority of models have a drip tray underneath the dirty tank to catch any liquid spilled. It's recommended that you empty the drip tray following each cleaning cycle to reduce the risk of bacteria growth.
Cleaning the Water Tank
The majority of robot mops and automatic vacuum and mop robot/mop combos use a water tank to clean. The majority of manufacturers recommend that you clean the tank frequently, depending on how often you use your robot. This is vital for bots that you want last for a long time. Certain brands, like the top picks of our reviews, have a removable, washable tank so you can remove dirty water and let the tank dry between cleaning sessions.
Most of the mop-vacs we tested have an app which lets you save maps of your house and set up cleaning schedules, or choose different cleaning options. This is one of the features we look for when deciding on the best model, because it makes the process of setting up and using your robot cleaner (https://iblog.iup.edu/gyyt/2016/06/07/all-about-burnie-burns/comment-page-3975/) much easier. If your chosen model doesn't have an app, you'll be able to control the basics of the bot from the dock or via its remote.
All of the newer models we've examined can sweep up dust and dirt from many surfaces This is a major improvement over previous versions of robot cleaners that mostly simply pushed a pad of water across the floor. However, these machines are not designed to handle huge spills, and they still need to be cleaned manually. They also cannot handle large furniture pieces and may get lost in rooms with a lot of stuff on the floor, so make sure to straighten up the area prior to mopping to ensure the machine can move around it easily.
Some of the latest bots come with brushes on the sides and the bottom that can be cleaned and removed So, be certain to follow the manufacturer's instructions on how to do this (typically, use a damp microfiber cloth). Sensors are also used by a majority of bots to navigate around the floor and avoid obstacles. To ensure that the sensors function well, it's helpful to clean the sensors every couple of cleaning cycles with a soft clean cloth, particularly the areas where the sensors are pressed against the floor.
Although it is possible to add other cleaners (such as vinegar) to the tank of the robot, we do not recommend it unless it's been approved by the manufacturer. This can damage your robot and could void its warranty.
Cleaning the Drip Tray
If your robot mop and vacuum comes with a dock that doubles as its water tank, it's going to need to be cleaned periodically. The dock can collect grit, dust and debris and needs to be removed and cleaned when the mop is finished. A majority of our choices have an auto-cleaning cycle that which you can control with the app or a button on the mop itself. This keeps the tank clean and prevents mildew from developing.
The area of the dock that washes the pads also must be cleaned from time to time -- it can get slimy or smell bad if left wet for a long time. If your model has washable or disposable mop pads, be sure to wash them according to manufacturer's instructions in between cleaning cycles. Hybrid vacuum and mop units that have brushes on the sides and bottom are also affected. After every cleaning cycle take the brushes off and clean them with an abrasive or a cloth.
Some of the most advanced robot vacuum-mop combos we've tested have sensors that aid in navigating floors and avoid obstacles, however it's still essential to clean the sensor areas clean on a regular basis. This will prevent dirt and grime from blocking the sensors and causing misjudgment.
Although the majority of robot vacuums and mop systems require some effort they are an excellent alternative for busy homeowners. They can keep floors looking great, eliminate the need for heavy lifting and save you the most valuable resource in a home -- your free time.
There are a few companies working to build better vacuum-mop robots, but they are still far from our level of quality. We anticipate that these robots will improve over time, just as all the previous robot vacuums have.
Cleaning the Brushes
Maintaining your robot automatic vacuum and mop and mop is important, just like maintaining a vacuum cleaner. Wipe down sensors to make it easier to navigate, empty and rinse the water tank, remove pet hair clogs that block brushes and charge ports, clean the ports and replace filter and rollers as suggested by the manufacturer. These suggestions will help your robot vacuum and mop combo work efficiently for an extended period of time.

Robot vacuum and mop combos are great for tackling dry debris (dust dirt) and wet messes (spills and stains) all in one cleaning session without the need to switch machines. These multitaskers can save you time and effort and are convenient for anyone who lives a full schedule.
Some robots are operated by an app and come with more features. For instance this model features an obstacle course map that shows our course which is a key selling feature. You can also make use of the app to plan and modify cleaning sessions, change mopping modes and check the level of battery. Others provide voice activation, like this model that works with Alexa for hands-free control.
If you're looking for a robot mop and vacuum, be sure it has the features you are looking for. While all models use pads with water across floors, some have scrubbers that can be used to clean grout, or rotating brushes for more intensive scrubs. Some models have filters that can be washed or replaced to lessen the odor.
Some mopping robots drop their dirty pads into an empty base that automatically dumps them into a garbage bin, eliminating the need to manually clean the pads or refill the tank. Certain mopping machines, like the Noesis Florio have reusable pads you can wash and dry between uses. If you decide to purchase a model with reusable pads, be sure to read the instructions of the manufacturer on how to clean and dry them.
